Near the future interstate, chance and second thoughts meet a road fire that leaves ashes behind, making departure feel less like freedom than damage one must outlive.

The repeated questions about thinking once or twice make chance feel less accidental than morally uneasy. Malfeasance is not only wrongdoing but a forward motion that burns through everything and still leaves a person standing in the residue. "Leaving it all" lands harder here because escape carries ash with it.
